I decided I was going to handle Rosh Hashanah by praying after work last night, then both working and praying today, so I got up at 6:30 today, and also hit some big emotional stuff related to the holiday and work I’ve been doing on my issues lately. Consequently, I’m pretty exhausted now.

THE HELM OF HAND HAMMERHORN SHALL SOUND IN THE DEEP I mean… uh.. THE HAMMER OF HELM HORNHEAD I mean um.. uh. Er. FORTH EORLINGAS!

@Kusimanse weird, MLP is one of the "I don't like this" because I still parse the series as "intended for tween girls" and it feels like it's being coopted. I *really* don't like porn of Loona from Helluva Boss because my understanding of her isn't just that she's a kid but that she's sort of a tragic character.

just right now feeling very "there are several dozen largely internal issues I would like to resolve to go forward into a much happier life and I am running out of time, especially since I don't think I'm likely to survive the Trump second term which feels likely"

great, it's probably going to turn out that I got into furry in part because of my dumb gender issues?

it's weird, there are some recurring characters who I don't like showing up in furry porn. I don't think that's *objectively bad*, just *I* don't like it, usually because the character's stuff other than a complete horndog in original context. This is probably some sort of asexuality filter, and it's very probably connected to whatever unresolved gender issues I have.

yes, the Old West around 1865 or so

the stillness of the hot desert air broken only by grunting and whistling

and somewhere off in the distance the plaintive BOINNNGG! of a lone jawharp as it roams across the prairie.

oh YEAH the awesome part of Don't Fear the Reaper

you know the part that goes

DWEEDLEE DEE DEE DWA DWA DWOOOOO DOO
DOODLE DEEDLE DEE DA, DWIDDLEY DA DA DWOOO
WHAA WHA DOO DA DEE DUM
WHA WA DOO DA DA DUM

Here are trees and mushrooms and stuff from Sunday.

*listening to soundtrack *

Garthim soldiers! Go, kill the wabbit! I mean the Ringbearer! I mean the Gelfling!

There’s also SkekHung the Hypertrophic and their counterpart, UrMassiveNaturals. We try not to talk about them around the Gelflings.

Nearly every negative assumption I have about the world is rooted in stuff people literally told me.

I used to believe I was a comic villain, stupid, inept, ugly, and ridiculous in my monstrous anger, because I'd basically been told this. I used to believe by contrast that others, especially the people who were handing me tasks, were these amazing folks who had everything together and who wanted to be here, because that's what I was told. I was handed this horrible view of unquestionable authority and unsurprisingly turned out maltheistic.

And a lot of the world is about to become a total disaster - frankly I've been told that too. In this case it *is* impossible to avoid some news and given possible implications of things like the election or new covid variants, it's hard not to catastrophize.

til "Hector's dolphin" as the same scansion as "tiny dancer"

thus improving the Elton John song by several dozen percent

@GoodNewsGreyShoes My parents' relationship to other people and to each other isn't necessarily that healthy. I don't have particularly good role models in that respect, I worry I tend to fall into some of the same problems.

Anyway, money with my folks is weird. I try to be very careful asking them for help, after a very bad incident now about 16 years in the past. It also doesn't help that I'm not sure how much I'm actually helping if any.

re-using the joke from Twitter ages ago;

I am Paul Atreides, son to Duke Leto and the noble lady Jessica, and ducal heir to Caladan.

This is Cringer, my fearless friend.

Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I drank the Water of Life and said, "FATHER! THE SLEEPER HAS AWAKENED!"

Cringer became the mighty BattlePug and I became the Kwisatz Haderach, the most powerful man in the universe. Together we defend Sietch Tabr from the evil forces of the Baron Harkonen!
